Out of curiosity, why would someone use ListenSplunk instead of
ListenSyslog using TCP with Parsing disabled (aka poor man ListenTCP) ?
I was under the impression Splunk forwarder frame format when using non
indexed data is a pure TCP stream, pretty much like netcat. (Or are we going
to be able to acknowledge events as the Indexer does when communicating with
forwarders?)
If that is the case, shouldn't we call this ListenTCP instead of
ListenSplunkForwarder?
